The act of informing Walmart of an employee’s intent to leave their position, typically fourteen days prior to the intended departure date, is a standard professional courtesy. This communication allows the employer to prepare for the employee’s absence and initiate the process of finding a replacement. For example, a sales associate intending to resign on the 15th of the month would ideally submit their notification by the 1st of the same month.
Providing advance notification offers several advantages. From the employee perspective, it maintains a positive professional relationship with the company, which can be beneficial for future references. For Walmart, it provides time to redistribute workload, train new personnel, and ensure minimal disruption to operations. Historically, this practice has fostered goodwill between departing employees and their former employers, contributing to a more professional and respectful work environment.
